About Games

The 2014 Winter Olympics, officially the XXII Olympic Winter Games, will be held in Sochi, Russia. The Sochi Olympics are the first Winter Olympics (and first Olympics altogether) for the Russian Federation, as the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow were in the Soviet Union.

Regarded as one of the strongest teams ever assembled by Team GB for a Winter Games, the 56 strong 2014 team includes medal hopefuls such as World Championship bronze medallist Elise Christie and Eve Muirhead and team, the current Women’s Curling World Champions, as well as a host of former European and World Championship medallists across several other sports.
